Why Cut Off a Woman's Hand?
from Aphesis Hosted by School of Aphesis
Why would the Law of Moses include such an unusual command involving a woman intervening in a fight? Was it merely about violence, or was there a deeper concern rooted in honor, modesty, and the preservation of family lineage? In this episode, we examine the historical setting, Ancient Near Eastern culture, and the theological significance of Deuteronomy 25:11–12. Far from being an arbitrary law, this passage reveals how seriously God viewed human dignity, justice, and covenant order in Israel.
